    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    @DEG overfilled by definition is anything above the max line in the bottle. It would have to be way over that to get it to leak on the ground! Plenty of room above the max mark in the bottle. Help me understand your logic. If I smell coolant I must have a coolant leak, yet my coolant level...

    Proper way to use 4 wheel high and auto

    This! I use 4 Auto when there's snow on the roads and keep 4 high for when I'm off pavement or full snow covered.

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    Who said it leaks? It's an antifreeze odor after the truck is shutdown. Pretty noticeable if it's garaged. My truck doesn't see the dealer so no one's topping off the coolant. Just a trait of the Rams... no big deal IMO.

    Has RAM made a new rear window?

    This is what I and many have used. Some folks used painters tape to mask it, I just put painters tape at the ends to block it and endure it stayed at the top of the window. Never had a leak and with the Permatex I'm sure I won't...

    Has RAM made a new rear window?

    Not visible at all.

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    My first two didn't, current one does. It does not leak coolant, the coolant level does not change. Your crazy if you think I'd be taking it into the dealer for that. Mark your overflow tank dipstick. If it's not using or losing any coolant, move on with life.

    Ram Pulls The Covers Off Of The Updated 2025 Ram 1500

    Like it or not, the Ram Super Bowl commercial drove traffic!

    Ram Pulls The Covers Off Of The Updated 2025 Ram 1500

    eTorque is the MGU, the battery pack behind the rear seat and more. You cannot "disable" it. You can disable the auto start stop, the automatic shut offs at stop lights, etc. The non eTorque Hemi does not have that feature so nothing to disable.

    Lemon? My bad luck?

    Something is up with your truck. Was it flood damaged? What part of the country was it in before you bought it?

    Stern dealer warning on mileage

    You spent how much on the truck and waited 10,000 miles before the first oil change?!

    Ram Pulls The Covers Off Of The Updated 2025 Ram 1500

    Your can't disable the eTorque. You can disable the auto start stop, but not the eTorque.

    Best years for 5th gen? Looking to purchase

    I've had a '19 Laramie with 8.4" screen and currently have a '19 Limited with the 12". No major issues with either (regular Hemi here). Time will tell if I regret getting the air suspension, but it's garaged. I'd say get the cleanest '19-'22 you can, including a clean Carfax with minimal...

    4wd actuator connector issue

    Did you clean out the truck harness electrical connector? Mine was covered in oil when I swapped by actuator out.

    Leather dash lifting and bubbling

    A goodwill repair isn't warranty, it's done after the warranty expires.

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    I'm shocked you stuck with it through all of this. What's even more shocking is how they took an overall pretty good '19-'24 truck and released the '25 with a host of issues (that admittedly not everyone is experiencing). If I had to buy a new truck today, it'd be a Sierra and not a Ram...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I always negotiate my trade value before I head into the dealership.

    Pulled the trigger - 2021 1500 Limited -> 2025 1500 Tungsten

    Congrats but do shop around for insurance. In 2018 I left State Farm over the highly inflated rate for the '19 Ram, same reason they gave you.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    With no dipstick, there's zero way to look in the crankcase? @btdudley153, maybe remove your oil fill cap and make sure it all looks good in there. I'm doubtful it wouldn't, but can't hurt to check!

    2025 Tungsten - Good/Bad

    I've seen on quite a few GMs built during covid that have a $50-75 credit on the window sticker for an option that wasn't included on that vehicle (wireless charging, steering wheel lock, etc). Seems Stellantis could just do that.

    4WD Actuator Issues

    Glad you got it fixed and came back to let the group know. Often these problem threads are missing the resolutions!
